We so enjoyed sharing ideas for repairs and repurposings at today's Eco Communities UK 'Breaking Up with Fast Fashion' event. Was great to team up with Molly and Stan - loads of inspiration for new things to try - although Stan's parrot waistcoat will take some beating!

Tomorrow (Tues 2 March) we are BACK!! Our first Patch Challenge of 2021! We're happy to be part of Chester Green's month long Go Green festival. Our workshop is open to all - see www1.chester.ac.uk/sustainability… to join us! (Bring your mending, darning, dropped hems and busted zips!)

We're teaming up with UoC Volunteering and Peer Mentoring for our pop-up event next week. Can't wait to get mending 🪡 #mendmarch

It's great to be back with our first on-campus Pop-Up Patch Challenge of the year! Sock-darning, hem-mending, denim-patching... It's all going on! Bring us your repairs!

Excellent toe-darning in progress. This is an awkward mend, as we haven't had access to a small darning mushroom - a glue stick is doing the job(ish)!

Lots more mends from today - buttons reattached, seams re-sewn and hems hitched! Thanks for having us UoC Volunteering 😁

PUPC is most excited to see sashiko mending on Sewing Bee tonight!

We're so looking fwd to being back! Bring us your mends and we'll show you how to bring loved garments back to life. #repair #mending #patching #darning

It isn't too late to book for An Archive of Stitches on Sat 19/11, part of Being Human Festival - join Prof Deborah Wynne UoC English and @Collins_R_C @gidchester to talk about the living histories, geographies and biographies of clothing. Book here: bit.ly/3E8PGzS

Yeah we are!! We're ramping up our plans for 2023 so it's great to be getting back into the mending groove with this event with UoC Volunteering and Chester Green

Ooh, definitely of interest to us, too! Knowing materials through #craft is critical for more sustainable consumption. We'll be there on 16 May!

Patch fans might be keen to join this - it's free and online!

It was fab to be back with our patch packs yesterday at University of Chester. We taught some basic sewing skills and helped with some fancy customisation. Was particularly nice to do this in front of Dr Amy Twigger Holroyd's wonderful #fashionfictions World Tour exhibition.
